I believe that it takes an incredibly strong person to forgive someone who has done them wrong. I have so many internal battles with myself over my past and it pains me to feel such anger and hate every single day of my life. I want to be able to be at peace with my inner demons. All of my pain has been wearing me down for years and it's so hard to cope. How do I forgive those people...Will I ever be able to....Will I ever find my strength....I hope that Jesus will take my hand and will be able to help me forgive and move on. I want to be able to be happy and have a sincere smile...

Maybe a friend turned his or her back on you. Maybe someone you loved betrayed you. We all have wounds and we end up carrying these things that people have done to us for weeks, months, and sometimes even years. It isn't always easy to forgive these people and after a while these hurts can get really heavy. So the only way to feel better seems to be somehow getting back at the people that hurt us, to get revenge. But does revenge ever truly satisfy? Maybe forgiving isn't something you do for someone else to let them off the hook. Maybe forgiveness is about you. God didn't create you to carry these wounds around. God created you to be free. -- by Rob Bell

When I played Ultimate Frisbee between 1998 and 2000 at University I had to choose a number for my shirt. I chose 77. So that if I fouled ''sinned!'' 7 times 7 times then God would forgive me :'' It was kind of a joke because I couldn`t think of a number to have. 10 would have been the ideal like Maradona!

Then Peter came and said to Jesus, "Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."

"And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your transgressions."
